Shakespearean Adaptation, Race and Memory in the New World (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

- Conducts theoretically-informed readings of five 20th/21st Century Shakespearean adaptations that focus on black womanhood

- Views the texts studied as attempting their own voicing of a suppressed past, and using that recovered past in order to mount a present and possibly even a future informed by black women's social, political, and emotional agency

- Valuable both to contemporary students who want to know more about treatments of Shakespeare in the 20th and 21st centuries, and to those working on race in early modern drama

Rezensionen

"MacDonald ... offers up a monograph that aptly demonstrates how adaptations fill in the representational gap of Shakespeare's missing black women even as she undertakes the same gap-filling work herself by spotlighting the endeavors of creators of color all-too-often overlooked in Shakespearean adaptation studies, as well as in contemporary culture." (Vanessa I. Corredera, Early Modern Women Journal, Vol. 16 (2), 2022)
